Default Help on picking Coilovers

I have basically narrowed it down to the Buddy Club's, PSS9's, or H&R's. I have around $1500 to spend. I'm basically looking to slam the car (around 2 inches) and still have a somewhat comfortable ride while improving handling. Feel free to add any other coilovers around that price range. Please reply as it only takes minutes. Thanks alot.

My vote is for the GP Sports coilovers. I would look into them before dropping the cash.

You might consider the KW single-adjustables. Take 10% off the marked price if you spend $50 on an s2ki.com membership.

Made in Germany like the H&Rs or Bilsteins, stainless steel construction, 515 lb springs, single-adjustable for rebound like the PSS-9s (the H&Rs are non adjustable).

H&R
KW
Comptech

All around your price.

Before you waste your $$$ on overpriced coil overs that may actually be worse than the stock shocks, consider a set of Koni Yellows and some Ground Control sleves and springs. This set up should be cheaper than any of the coilover kits that you listed and should give you as good if not much better performance.

Zeal B2s or B6s ... They're good as well. And should be around that price bracket if I'm remember correctly.

coilovers are overkill for a street car. some people don't even bother to corner-balance when they install coilovers( makes a big difference).

The price I got for the ground controls and Koni's are $1100 after shipping and everything. I don't understand why not pay extra few to get some coilovers, and then get them coner balanced and everything. Are you saying the ride is just to stiff and uncomfortable or... ? Bare with me, I don't know much about suspension.
